,aoMPRS UNION WANTS FARM- f LIFE SCHOOLS, n ' ' The North Carolina Farmers' Edu cational and Cooperative Unfou which held its annual meeting at tEe A. & j4. College Raleigh July 26 27 took a decided stand for the establishment of farir life schools. The report of Committee on Education wEich was adopted unanimously is here giv- ,en m mil. iuib report it ipay oe aua-1 . . n rrru i i. n ' I ed is in exact accord with the ideas of state Superintendent Joyner and there is little reason to doubt That the second part of it which relates to fawn-life instruction, in the rural high schools will sooner or later be eaaeted Into legislation. it will be noted that no new school machinery or system ofschools is asked for nor is there any de mand that the recognized cultural tudies shall be displaced by the pracS tical. The plan suggested is to com bine 'he cultural and the practical in the same schol. In this respect the rejiort is conservative, wise and prac tical. In order to put into effect the plan proposed the Union pledges to the school authorities its hearty sup iort and cooperation. What this sup port may mean can he judged from tie fact the Union which bv the way is not a political organization is J now composed or more tnan 70,)00 or State. Here is a great army of earn the most progressive farmers of the est men deeply and seriously interest ed in our educational development pledging their support and coopera tion. Their influence is going to count might-fly in the unbuildng of the sys tem of pubic high schools the State is now developing. It is needless te add they are going to get what they are asking for. Report of the Committee on Education. Notwithstanding the fact fiat North Carolina is one of the original thirteen colonies yet we not wftfi re gret that we are far behind some of the younger states in the development of our resources; especially our agri cultural Our swamp lands remain un trained; our piedmont MMsides are dotted With unsightly uullies; our mountain section ha lost untold wealt by the wanton detraction of its valua ble timber. Eighty per cent of our peo pie are living upon the farms yet en ty a mall per cent know anything abojt their own soil condition needs of different crops, etc thereby failing to have the essentials necessary to the :ull development of a high order of citizenship. We believe that a bet ter knowledge of the practical science of agriculture on the part of the ?reat masses of people living m the rura districts will not only add com fort ro baepiness in all of the now desolate homes but will also add un told wealth fee our grand old common wealth. Those communities and those state that hae given their children a spe cial education for farm life are living 1 in the most comfort are making the best crops are best developing and conserving their resources and are at the same time rearing a most con tented and useful citizenship. In the light of what is being done in other states and from a careful study of onr own needs and from thoughtful -onsijeration of our present educa tional requirements We are convinced f the necessity of specifically train our children for farm life. Along with their general education these children should be taught how to keep their homes sanitary and Jbeau Wui how to manage their MDusehould how to cooperate with one ano ther in marketing crops and in get ting full value for their products. If they are teught these essentials they wiH be enabled from their farms to meet the growing demands of ever-increasing population and to live with a f"H measure of comfort; Therefore to besin the fulfillment of these end w? recommend the following plan: 1- That we urge the enforcement of the present Stajte law requiring arn:iilture to be taught in the com ttcn schools and that this be done Uh the best possible facilffles. To ar'oni)jsh this important step we rp'oinnend. r ir,M that each county union ap- point a standing committee of force- Etil llipn to co-operate with the county si i n QAoi n or ,,iat is is faithfully done. Second, that our State Union 'rgh an educational committee -operate with the State Superlnten- of Public Instruction in further- ? this end and in devising practical ens for mafeng the teaching most ' that if it be necessary we oth time allott;ea to some subjects be curtailed in order, ur children may be kiatructed in the occupation whjeh the majority k 'V " ' . . . ' "I K - " - " . w KUJH. II . . . . H . H- If H H or them are to follow either intelli gently or unintelligently intelligent ly if they are trained unintelligently if they are unprepared. Fourth. We also recommend that in connection with the larger schools small ffioastratlon farms or gardens be cultivated for instructive purposes 2. We urge that as in accordance with a recent State law rural Sigh cnhAAi. v. i - s nave ueen ana are belne or- S&nized in the various counties at icasn. use oi tnese schools be set apart in counties meeting the requir ed conditions as a county high sehool for farm life instruction in conjunc tion with other high school work. We f udther ure that the foUowingthings be done in the schools so designated for this parposa: , First that without excluding those subjects so necessary for any educat- ei Persn these schools make a spec ialty of preparing boys and girls for farm, homes by teaching thoroughly and with best equipment the arts and sciences bearing on farm fife and farm homes and farm management. Second that in connection with these schools a farm for practical demonstration of best tgricultural practice be conducted, and also pro vision be made for teaching the girls household Science and that this sub ject ue taugnr m tne nest modern methods. Third that a comfortable but In expensive dormitory for boarding pu pils and a teachers home be erected at each of these schools in order that the teacher may be in charge of the farm all of the year ana that boys and girls from all parts of the coun try may secure boarding accommo dations at actual cost. Fourth. We recommend and urge that the General Assembly increase the State appropriation for publio school sufficiently to provide for the development of the best high school into such a farm life school, with such courses of instruction as may 'be necessary in counties that will meet the conditions necessary for the successful maintenance and equipmen of such a farm Hfie high school and further that in order to enable coun- tie. - to meet . these conditions the Gei-j t Commissioner of Pas eral Assembly do enact a law permit-1 . - Jr. Assembly do enact a law permit ting such counties as desire such scheals to vote upon a proposition te levy a small special tax on property andpoHs sufficent to provide the nec ess.iry equipment in land and Build ings and to provide annually at least one half the necessary funds for the maiitenance of the schools the other part of the funds for annual" mainten ance to be supplied out of the special State appropriation. Fifth that such schools shall be an organic part of the regular Sffate and county school Schoel Bulletin system. High WHEN MERIT WINS.
